Medical super glue is used throughout the world. http://www.liquiband.com/ Different to household stuff, if you die post on here so we know it didn't go well.
this could be just an urban legend but i remember hearing stories that army medics would use super glue in this situation if they didnt have stitching equipment available so it might be ok but with regards to the cut itself dont worry about it, i got a pretty deep gash on my arm a wee while back and didnt bother getting stitches on it i just put a plaster on and the wound remained 'moist' for a few days before it started to scab over.
Ok it's been 15 min and it's dried and seemingly sealed the cut. There looks like there's a bit of blood behind it, but it's not seeping through. I'd say success. Had to use like half the tube though and my finger is covered in the stuff lol.

Says on wiki they're the same stuff called cyanoacrylate.
I've heard of worse ideas. It'd be a good idea if you were stuck with literally no other option but lateral thinking is what saves yo' ass if you're in a pinch. You can use Duct tape to hold yourself together if you gash open your chest/leg if you're in the middle of nowhere too.
There is a type of superglue you can use for wounds; I know for a fact army doctors often replace the fluid in blisters with superglue so soldiers can keep on marching.
I think the time is right for a type of medical superglue to be put on the market.
I cut my finger strimming the hedges yesterday and have quite a deep cut on my finger, probably should have went to get stiches, but I managed to stop the bleeding myself. The thing is I've had it taped up for over 24hrs with a load of kitchen roll and sellotape and I feel I need to take it off because it doesn't seem to be drying up. But everytime I take the kitchen roll off it keeps bleeding again and it's quite a lot, meaning I keep having to detol wash it and wrap it up again. However I've just found a fresh tube of super glue and I remember hearing that a little superglue around the edge will seal it shut. Is this true can I use superglue to seal it or is it dangerous? I'd go to hospital, but that would mean having to pay £15-£20 for a taxi there and back which I could do without spending money and the hassel at the moment tbh.
I tried googled for yahoo answers but there was some confilicting veiws on this on.
